Juraj Slafkovsky is easy to hit

Last night, Juraj Slafkovsky (again) was hit hard by one of his opponents.

This time it was Shayne Gostisbehere who had a field day. However, on the sequence, we see that Slaf had his head held high and that the hit de Gostisbehere was “timid” to perfection:

You know as well as I do that this isn’t the first time we’ve seen the first overall pick in the last draft get knocked around like this. The difference, however, is that he got up straight after the check and he didn’t seem shaken at all on the streak.

But still, lucky that the Coyotes defenseman is only 5’11 and weighs 180 pounds. Because the contact could have been much, much harsher than it was.

Even though Slaf had his head held high, he was at a disadvantage. And that is what he will have to work on.

Passing through Jeff Marek Show (Sportsnet), Elliotte Friedman commented on the sequence and he went there with a rather interesting commentary. He explains that word is starting to get around the league, wanting Slafkovsky to be a guy who’s “easy to hit.”

It’s flat, but it’s true if we take into account the hits he has received since the start of the season.

We know that this is an element of the game that Slaf is currently working on. He notably trained alone last week with Adam Nicholas before regular team practice and the latter encouraged him to keep his head held high at all times.

In order to avoid getting hit… But also to help his vision of the game.

And, it had worked because in the next match, Slaf had gone all out, preparing for a goal from Josh Anderson.

Juraj Slafkosvky is still getting to grips with NHL play, and that’s to be expected. It might take a while for him to get used to NHL standards, like it might be quick.

Because we know that the development of players is different for each of them.

It could take two years, it could take four. Let’s not forget that he is only 18 years old…
